The "P" plate is for a probationary driver.
The first one you recieve is an "L" plate (Learner).
Learners are required to carry a fully licensed driver with them at all times, and have restrictions on the maximum speed they can travel.
Probationary drivers can drive alone, but still have restrictions, like the power of the car, no turbos allowed, no alcohol in your system etc.
BOVs are illegal if they vent to atmosphere. (That's not to say that no-one has them.... plenty of people do.... including myself

)
If they are plumb back BOV, then that is ok.
Something to do with noise, non-standard parts, and possibility of venting fuel vapour/oil into the engine compartment, which could cause fire (Their theory, not mine)
